Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

jesse garrett this movie is very touching i watched it and at the end i bawled my eyes out and i barely ever cry about anything but seeing David being innocent and him getting killed also his final meal wanting to be what he and his son ate for breakfast made me cry so hard it is a great movie and everyone should watch it young or old it is a very touching story i love the story myself and how he got in the situation he is in at the time is very interesting and when we saw that the Constance committed suicide and they blamed it on David is the part where i started crying like a baby i rated the movie a ten because of how good it was and if you are very emotional i don't suggest watching it but if you want to go ahead

William Jahn This movie was a good concept, and from a technical standpoint, it was filmed well. The story follows the story of a man who was sent to death row for a crime he didn't commit. He requires the help of a reporter to clear his name post-mortem, so that his son doesn't think poorly of him. However, the ending flaws the entire logic of his statement. It is revealed that he was working with the woman's suicide to make it look as if he had committed the murder. It shows that he cares more about abolishing the death sentence than his family. It doesn't fit with the character that was established throughout the entire movie. It felt forced into the plot. The movie was filled with plot conveniences, like when her car broke down whilst trying to get the tape to the police to prove the man's innocence. It built a false sense of tension, but the outcome was predictable. The acting was sub-par. I normally love Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet. They felt uncharacteristically tired and emotionless throughout the entire movie. Even the scenes where Kate Winslet was crying felt forced. I couldn't help but laugh at some of the more emotional scenes. The movie was fun to watch, and it was well shot and well produced, but it was lacking in areas that could've made the movie great.

mspradeesh786 This movie is underrated in Rotten Tomatoes.It has it's obvious reasons. The movie failed bcoz of flaws in direction. Kevin and Kate are a treat to watch but the movie fails to keep audience at the edge of the seat. Too much of time is spent on Kevins alcoholic dependence that deviates from a good script. Fine edition and direction would have given this movie and the actors the credit they deserve.Characters are not placed at the right places. Anywayz it is a treat to watch this movie if you like earlier works of Kevin Spacey. Kate Winslet justifies her role. Death row has always been a debate for mankind ...Personally I am against death penalty.We were all born animals at first in nature-It is only when we became superior in terms of population and capabilities of using our brain that we defined laws to contain our animal instincts.

jc-osms Another strong entry in the somewhat eclectic collection of films by Alan Parker, "The Life of David Gale" (shame about the dull title) tries to combine a teasing whodunit murder mystery with some pungent social comment on capital punishment in the USA. For me, the two strands work well separately but unite somewhat awkwardly in the final analysis. Trying to argue against death row executions in the modern-day is all very laudable, but the point is rendered less telling by applying it to a fantastical and unbelievable plot which could only have come from a Hollywood screenwriter's pen.That's not to gainsay the plot too much. As a present-day thriller, it entertains as much as it intrigues with the twists starting to pile up before impact-fully leaving the final shot to resolve the mystery just in time for the end-credits. I didn't foresee the resolution at all and I was left afterwards with that nice feeling you get from a good suspenseful movie where you deconstruct the movie in your mind and put it back together to arrive at the ending.Yes, coincidences abound, especially how Kevin Spacey's Gale and his friend/colleague Laura Linney's respective low-points coalesce at exactly the right time, but there's no denying the ingenuity of the grandstanding plan they hatch. It is worth saying though that the first scene of Linney's character's final distress is upsetting, even as I appreciate it was doubtless carried out by a body-double. Kate Winslet's heretofore hard-bitten reporter's immediate response to it however, does justice to the shock and revuksion we fellow- viewers share with her.The three main actors are all very good in their parts, firstly Spacey as the smart-aleck super-confident college lecturer undone by his human frailties, beginning with a penchant for young girls that he would get to revisit in "American Beauty". Winslet's role is as the sounding-board, reacting to events as the viewer's proxy. Quite where she gets the Sherlock-like detective skills to unravel the murder mystery I'll let pass as dramatic licence while Linney portrays her part as Gale's soul-mate and fellow-crusader with the required understated sympathy.Director Parker handles his cast well and cleverly and subtly unfolds his tale with due respect for cinematic conventions of the thriller genre. I still think more people would leave the movie discussing the clever ending than the anti-capital punishment message, but blame that more on the writer than the director.This is still a taut and thoughtful thriller, well acted and directed and which hold the viewer's interest right to the very end.
